    Popular at K-BBQ restaurants

    This Korean corn and cheese is widely popular at many Korean BBQ restaurants as a side dish with your grilled meat. They usually serve it all melty and hot within the side insert of the grill.

    Korean Corn Cheese Stovetop Version

    Many recipes call for you to use an oven safe skillet and an oven to broil the cheese. Well, I’m teaching you how to make Korean corn cheese on stove without an oven or an oven safe skillet. It's much easier and just as delicious!

    Don't like imitation crab meat? Omit it!

    It'll taste just as good without it if you're not a fan. But if you are a fan, the imitation crab meat compliments the dish well by elevating the overall flavours.

    What you’ll need

    For this recipe you’ll need the following Korean corn cheese ingredients:

    • Canned corn
    • Mozzarella cheese shreds
    • Butter
    • Imitation crab meat, optional
    • Kewpie mayo or Japanese Mayo
    • White Granulated Sugar
    • Black pepper

    Cooking Tips

    Below are tips on making my Korean corn cheese recipe:

    Chop imitation crab meat into chunks

    This allows for an even distribution of the crab meat and makes it easier to break up in the pan

    Use a non-stick pan

    This will prevent a sticky mess to clean up later. Trust me you won’t want to spend 10 minutes of your time scraping off stuck-on cheese.

    Strain liquids in canned corn

    This reduces the cooking time in the pan. If you don’t strain the liquids, it’ll distort the taste and cause for additional time to evaporate the liquids possibly overcooking your corn.

    FAQ

    Below are frequently asked questions about this butter cheese corn Korean:

    What kind of corn did you use?

    This Korean corn cheese with canned corn makes for a much easier method of cooking this dish. But you can use fresh corn on the cob. To be specific, I’m using the brand Green Giant “Corn Niblets”

    Where do I find Japanese mayo?

    Any Asian grocer will carry this.

    Can I use normal mayo?

    Yes.

    Can I omit the imitation crab meat?

    Yes! It’ll taste just as good without it.

    Can I use dairy-free butter?

    Of course!
